This topic seems so wrong

Think they can have some impact problems, this is what happened to a sly when "rubbed the wrong way" (sorry this is probly the begining of some realy bad inuendo)

Check deadbox's DM+sly at the bottom of the page.

I also here you shouldn't use a fluffy stick with em, buggers the finish as it makes the inside greasy rather then cleaning it so a pull thru is recommended.

i had one of the first ones, it shot very well and was notacably quieter than the boomsticks i was using at the time. accuracy was very good and it was very light. however i was VERY paranoid about snapping it and decided to sell it before i did, also i felt it unabanced the marker i was using it on (cocker) and made it feel very back heavy.

guess it depends on your style of play and possition etc......
if you are a little guy and want to make a light set up its perfect, great for a back player who wants to drop a few ounces off his marker. But i thought they seemed a bit fragile for diving into snakes and/or crawling thru woodland. not saying they are fragile as i didnt actually have a problem with mine, it just felt like it was waiting to happen if you know what i meen.

+very light
+accurate
+looks bling
+very quiet
-can unbalance a marker its that light
-fragile???

used one on a walk on they were great until i gave it back and the gfuy fell over with it and it snaped

 

[dirtydenn]

see i'd heard they were hard to break
remember dangerous brian really trying to break one and in the end he had to put it on a kerb and stamp on it!

anyway i tend to keep my barrel out of the dirt for many other reasons anyhow,i've never even scratched any barrel i've had,so not so worried about that

more concerned about performance,hell,if i break it that'smy fault

barrel

i seen one crack from the thread down half way down the barrel today just from an impact of a ball

 

[dirtydenn]

now that don't sound too good i have to say

I've had 3 of various types, never snapped one if I tried, crushed a couple with no ill effects, dropped regularly and I am the least graceful diver in the game.

Accuracy, yes fluffies don't work so well but I clean them with hot water after a day.

So far haven't had a problem, only thing I would say is when they say it's a .695 it seems tighter than the pipe of the same diameter, or I use a size above.
